Cloth Doffer. It’s what I was and did. Watched cloth run and roll. When the roll completed, I stopped it, cut it, rolled it away and started another. And for ten long sleepy hours. It wasn’t my responsibility to weave-though I passed through that department on the way to mine. I was trained to doff and doff is what I did. Doing anything else would have created a disaster for someone to straighten out. Students are not greater than teachers or servants than masters. And I’m not greater than God. That was Jesus’ point. Life is simpler when I know my position, stay in my position and fulfill the obligations of my position. Trouble is I occasionally attempt to take God’s by acting as if he doesn’t exist. I chart my financial course, map out my relationship route, and graph my employment road-all without consulting my Captain. God controls and knows everything. That’s his position. Mine is consulting and submitting.
Peace and success come from letting God direct your life course.
